System76 Pangolin Makes For A Nice All-AMD Linux Laptop

The base pricing on the System76 Pangolin is $1299 USD with the Ryzen 7 6800U, 32GB of dual channel memory, and 250GB PCIe Gen4 NVME SSD, which is similar to the configuration tested with this review sample except for having been upgraded to 1TB Samsung 980 PRO NVMe solid-state drive.

For those curious about the performance of the System76 Pangolin, I benchmarked this review laptop against a few other laptops locally. This Pop!_OS 22.04 laptop benchmark comparison included the:

System76 Pangolin - AMD Ryzen 7 6800U
HP Dev One - AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U
Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen3 - AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U
MSI MS-14C6 - Intel Core i7 1280P Alder Lake

From there a variety of different Linux workloads were tested across these various recent laptops while also monitoring the CPU core power consumption and other key metrics.
